The FA have launched a New Mini Soccer and Youth Futsal Handbook for the 2018/19 season.

This handbook has been produced for the following reasons:

• To update the mini soccer laws of the game (they haven’t been updated for 5 seasons) and add in new optional laws that have been approved via the Leagues Pilot Scheme
• To encourage Mini-Soccer and Youth Leagues to embed Futsal into their offer
• To raise awareness of Futsal and the benefits of Futsal to young players and to educate people on the laws of Futsal
• To promote the need to create a player centred environment providing the very best introduction to the game
